/θ/ and /ç/ are often voiced when intervocalic and neither of the vowels are stressed. /ç/ may even merge with /j/ in such cases.
/ð/ is very rare word-initially and is often exists just an allophonic voiced /θ/. However, loan words and the prefixation and voicing of the definite article /ðɪ/ have introduced a few minimal pairs, making /ð/ a marginal phoneme.
/j/ and /w/ are both realized as [ɥ] when they precede /uː/ and /iː/ respectively.
Vowles
| Front | Central | Back | |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | iː yː | ɯː uː | |
| Near-High | ɪ ʏ | ɯ̽ ʊ | |
| Mid-High | eː | oː | |
| Middle | ə | ||
| Mid-Low | ɛ ɛ̃ː | ɔ ɔ̃ː | |
| Low | a | ɑ̃ː |
/ə/ only exists in word-final positions in polysyllabic words and is often extra-short [ə̆]. However, other vowels can also exist in the position so it is a marginal phoneme.
When back vowels precede palatals, they tend to become fronted, as the following:
/ɯː/ to [ɨː]
/uː/ to [ʉː]
/ɯ̽/ to [ɘ̝]
/ʊ/ to [ɵ̝]
/oː/ to [ɵː~øː]
/ɔ/ to [ɞ~œ]
/ɔ̃ː/ to [œ̃ː]
/a/ to [æ]
/ɑ̃ː/ to [ʌ̃ː]
